    Having an issue with an aggressive Roo

    I have a beautiful Rooster named Jack. I think he has a grudge against me, honestly. He attacks me every chance he gets. I trusted him at first until I was filling up the reusable water container while my little flock was free ranging, and he flogged me right on the face. I have two children...

    Aggressive chick in incubator

    Hi! I have an almost 20ish hour old chick and one that’s only an hour at the most old. The older one keeps pecking it and being aggressive! How do I stop it? The oldest isn’t dry enough to move out of the incubator. The picture is blurry but that’s the mean one!

    We bought these two Chinese geese as a breeding pair in February. The breeder named them Agnes and Magnus. They were about a year old then. We are starting to suspect that the goose is actually also a gander. The “goose” is the lighter coloured one, who is also a bit smaller. Since we got them...

    Dual Broody Hens

    I've searched the threads about broody hens, but none seem to answer my question. For context, this is a rather long story, but it will result in my question. When one of my Golden Wyandottes (GW) went broody last year, I tried to break that habit, to no avail. So this year I sought out a...
